Black peppercorns are harvested from the pepper plant (Piper nigrum), and is
without doubt one of the oldest and most widely used spices in the world.
After flowering, the fruit, which are more precisely called drupes, are
collected by hand and dried on mats in the sun until they reach a dark
purplish-black.

Note: The term "mesh" refers to the coarseness of ground pepper, which can range
from a fine shake to large granules. (The term literally refers to the size of
the holes in the mesh screen through which the spice passes while it is ground.)
The higher the number, the finer the pepper. Similarly, a mesh of 12 indicates a
grind between coarse and cracked.

Black pepper is produced by harvesting the still unripe drupes from the
Piper nigrum plant and blanching them in boiling water before being laid
out to dry in the sun. The dried peppercorns are then sold whole or
ground into varying degrees of coarseness. In this case, a mesh of 20
produces a grind of black pepper that is finer than freshly cracked
pepper but still has some granularity left.

As one of the oldest commodities in the history of the spice trade,
black pepper played a role in shaping civilizations as well as the world
map. But long before the spice merchants of the 15th century would risk
all to bring black pepper from the Malabar coast to the market dominated
by Italy at the time, the first century AD gourmet, Marcus Gavius
Apicius, was cataloging Rome’s favorite recipes, the majority of which
included black pepper.
